DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.

We demsbd such judiclous reduction OF
the present burdensome tariff as shall re-
suit IN producing revenue sufficient only
to meet the expenses of an economical
administration of government, the pay
ment of liberal pensions to Union soldiers
est and princi pal of the public debt, and If
necessary We favor such reduction OF in
ternal revenue, except on liquors, as will
prevent the accumulation of a surplus n
the National treasury, and We de2ounce
any attempt to abolish the the tax on
liquors fer the purpose OF keeping mp the
present unjust, unequal and onerous tariff
system.-0hio Democratic Platform.
The Democratic party is a unit on the
question of 80 adjusting taxation as to pre-
vent the accumulation of surplus IN the
National treasury. The difficulties in the
way relate entirely 10 the methods. If the
tax on spirits, tobacco and fermented
liquors is abolished, equal to about S112,-
600 600 annually, the surplus at once dis.
appears. To abolish this tax at once settles
the question OF any reduction on imports.
An objection is made to the tax on spirits.
tobacco and fermented liquors. because it
Is held that Ii is war tax, and now that
the war is over, there is no reason why the
tax should continue.
In this connection, it may be well to
state that notwithstanding the war is past,
there Is still heavy war expenses to be met.
There Is an annual interest debt OF say
$4,000. 900, and there is q pension debt OF
say SIS. 100000 annually, an aggregate oil
$125. 000. 900. The tax on spirits, tobacco
and fermented liquors produces about s112,-
100000 annually-less than the war expen
ditures Of the Government BY s37 600. 900
which must be made up by tax on imports
or tariff tax. 1t VIII be seen, II the inter
nal revenue tax on the articles named
Is abolished, the war expenses
of the Government must be derived from

REPUTATION AND CHARACTER

OF all the precious possessions vouch-
safed to man, not one has a value in any
regard approximatirg that of good repu-
tation, good character. They are above
price; once gone, they are never fully re-
stored. Education, wealth, social stand
ing, official position, fame, renown, no
matter how secured, are of little value as
compared with good character, good repu-
tation. 1t has been well said that char
acter is the moral mark which distinguish
es one man from another, while reputa-
ton signifies what Is thought of a person.
Character lies in the man. 1t is a mark of
what he is. 1t shows itself on all occasions.
Reputation depends upon others. 1t is
what they think of him. Men of good
character are not likely to have bad rep
utation. In fact, good reputation signl-
fies a good character, and it should be
understood that good reputation
and good character go hand in hand, they
are practically inseparable. So when a
man testifes to the good reputation of
another, states what the people think of
him, they testify TO his good character.
Now then, when men under oath testify
to mans good character, they testify
that he possesses all the qualities that go
constitute good character. They swear
that he is an honest man, that he is a man
of integrity, rectitude, uprightness, prob
ity, virtue, moral soundness, that he is
man Of veracity and candor, that he viii
not lie, nor bear false witness; that he is
honest and honorable in his dealings with
his fellow men, that he will not knowingly
violate the law, commit felony nor do
ought else in conflict with good character.
A good reputation, good character, is
not formed in day nor a year. 1t is a
life work, and whatever else may be said Of
life, il Is splendid success, IL 1t has been
so spent as to establish good character, q
good reputation.
| Society has cause for boundless felicita-
ton, If when the good reputation, the good
character Of any of its members is assailed,
/ 1t is shown upon the oath OF other citizens
Of unquestioRed probity that the charges
are false and niquitous-because society
| is so proiundly concerned in the matter Of
| good character. 1t is It's life-blood, its for
tress, its bulwark, its effective defence, and
without 1t communities, like individuals,
become Kissing and a by.word-and it
may be said that those who seek to deprive
men or communities of their good charac-
ter, belong to the tribe Of slanderers asper-
sionists, caluminators, creatures who to
crafty their malignant natures, play the
role of vipers to ruin the objects OF their
implacable hats. No spectacle is more
humiliating than to see men who have
lived to mature manhood seeking to con-
struct by lives of uprightness q good char
acter suddenly, in the hands Of detestable
slandersr. vile caluminator, confessed
scoundrel, who TO screen himself from
merited punishment and ignominy, stands
ready 10 wreck the character OF
others and damn his own soul. In
such situations, when hypocrites, bigoti
and demsgoeues, chime in with those
who seek to purity politics By perjury

But this is not all. The work of the Pan

years of age was found under the east cad

the unfortunate girl was in disorder and
covered with blood. All the circumstances
indicated an atrocious murder, and. the

LATER-The girl was identified as Rosa
L. Hotks, daughter of Mrs. Albert Fraus,
of "a Johnson street.. She was subject to
epileptic fits, and it was proved by medical
examination that she had suffered no as

TIE PENSION RECORD OF THE DEM
OCRATIC ADMINISTRATION.


Now that certain blatherskites of the
Tuttle-Fairchild stripe are seeking to trans
form the Grand Army of the Republic into
a Republican, partisan machine, by assail-
ing President Cleveland's record for the
purpose OF showing that ne is an enemy OF
the veteran soldier, it becomes patriotic
duty to present the facts to the public so
that every veteran soldier may appreciate
the ineffable scoundrelism of those who
would obscure the truth for the sake of
partisan ends. An official document has
been issued which will enable all who want
to know the truth to comprehend at a
glance what Mr.. Cleveland's administra-
ton has done for the Union soldier in re-
gard to pensions and positions.
1t is stated that ian investigator with
keen regard for figures has gone over the
statutes of the United States and Pen sion
Bureau, snd by actual count has made up
these statistics regarding the Pension
Office business. which shed clear light on
that part of President Cleyelsnd's admin
istration." These figures as to. private
pei sion acts, are of a character to silence
ell adverse criticism. They force the con-
clusion that Mr.. Cleveland has stoodresdy
to sign every meritorious claim for PEN
sion. No veteran soldier can contemplate
the record for a moment without realiz-
ing that in President Cleveland
the brave, meritorious soldier has
conscientious. lnfexible friend.
The records relating TO private pension
acts and the employment of soldiers, are as
follows:
Gen. Grant, from 1870 to 1877 inclusive,
q period of eight years, approved 4S5. pri-
yate pension acts; President Hayes, from
1877 to 1881, inclusive, period of four
wears, approved 303 private pension acts:
Presidents Garfield and Arthur, from 1882
| to 1885, inclusive, a period of four years.
| approved 736 pension acts while President
1 Cleveland from 1886 to 1887, inclusive. q
period Of only two years, has approved S6S
| private pension acts.
This Is N more than Presidents Grant
and Hayes approved in twelve years and
127 more than Presidents Garfield and Ar
thur approved in four years.
President Cleveland has also, to begin
with, appointed more ex.Union soldiers to
office than any other President. de ap-
proved the act of March 10, 1886, which in
creased to si2 per month the pension of
1889 widows, minors and dependent rela-
tives of Union soldiers of the late war. He
approved the act of August 4, 1856, which
increased the pension OF 10 O3O crippled
and manned Union soldiers OF the late war.
He approved the act of January 20. 1887,
which placed upon the psnsion roles over
$1,000 survivors and widows OF the war

AN AWFUL MISTAKE.
The Wrong Man was Hanged for the nIur
der Of D'Arcy MCGEE.

The Wrong Man WAS Hanged for the MUIR
der Of darcy MCGEE.
OTTAWA, Ont, July 31.-A sensation has
been caused here; on good authority ev-
identity, that the actual murderer of
Darcy MCGEE escaped the penalty of the
law, while Whalen, an innocent man was
made the victim of circumstantial evil
dence which cost him his life on the gal
lows. 1t will be remem oered that when
James Whalen was executed here for the
murder Of Darcy MCGEE grave doubts
were entertained as TO his being
the actual murderer. The VIC
tim OF the cord denied the accusation to the
last, and died an ignomonious death. pro-
testing his innocence. It was learned SUBJ
seouently that son of Mrs. Trotter, where
MCGEE lived, and who has since died in
the States, declared before death that
Whalen was not the murderer. Young
Trotter was at the the time of the murder
in the commons of Canada, and they left
the house about the same time. Trotter
was on the ground shortly after the shot
was fred. The story told by lawyer and
rapidly rising politician yesterday morn
ing confirms his story. He states that he
was IL years of age and at Ottawa college.
He had skipped out for the night to hear
the expected debate in the house, and on his
way home saw two men in front of Trot-
ter's house, and one of them was we'll
known criminal lawyer of Quebec, and the
other, Whalen, had a pistol in his hand,
but funked with it when MCGEE came to
the door. His comrade took the pistol aud
fired the shot which ended Meg ee's life,
showed 1t back into Whalen's hand. got
into a rig close by, and drove rapidly
away. Some startling developments are
expected in connection with the matter in
few days.

the superstition is that he has left town.
DR.. st. John, the owner OF the schooner

sonally assisted McGraigle to escape, was
arrested this morning at the Breakfast

the tax on imports. 1t may be said that
but it must be remembered that, under a
Democratic administration, the pension
debt is steadily and rapidly increasing.
The demand is that the tax on the neces-
sites OF life SHALL be reduced as sug-
ar, salt, thread, earthenware, window glass,
tin plates. cutlery, rice, clothing, blankets,
etc.. etc. The demand is for the extension
of the free list, the non-dutiable commodi-
ties that will enable our manufacturers to
compete with other countries in the mar
kets of the world. The people demand
that the necessities of life shall be afforded
at minimum prices. With regard to lux
uries, they are not particularly concerned.
They are willing to pay such taxes as will
raise all the revenue the Government re-
quires, and no more. The average citizen,
the consumer of spirits, tobacco and fer
mented liquors cares little about the tax
on such articles, for several very good rea-
sons. First, if the tax were abolished, the
price to the consumer would be the same,
or approximately the same, and the bene-
fits would inure to the few and not to the
many. Again, the tax has not carried
prices so high that the consumer need cur
tail consumption; and statistics show con-
clusively that consumption has not been
reduced. Again, it is universally admitted
that spirits, tobacco. and fermented liquors
are luxurious. except in 30 tar as spirits
are required for medical, mechanical and
scientific purposes, and to that extent it
might be well to abolish the tax. That
these articles are luxurious, it is only re-
quired to say that they can be ommitted
from use without the slightest inconveni-
ence to health, happiness or prosperity. IT.
therefore, men choose TO use them, they can
afford to pay present prices, and since the
revenue derived from them enables the
government to pay all the pension debt
with surplus of about $37 200, 900 annual
ly, to go to the interest occount of the
war debt, the people do not regard with
favor any attempt to abolish the tax.
But to reduce the tax on the necessaries
OF life meets with universal favor. To
cease taxing the people unnecessarily on
such articles as every family must have to
live, is sound policy-aud it is Democratic.
1t the question of the day, and will be
the question Of the coming campaign.

The Question of Bxtraditson,

WAsREGToN, Aug. mo application
has been received by the State Departm
for a writ OF extradition in ths case of Nc
Carlyle, the escaped Chicago boodler, nor
has the Department received any intIma-
ton of an intention to ask for such a writ
beyond what has appeared in the
newspapers. If the usual course
in such cases was pursued, the
department would have no knowledge on
the subject until the agent of the City OF
Chicago appeared at the State Department
and applied for the writ, with which, If the
ofiense came within the extradision laws,
the agent would, in the ordinary course of
events, Immediately. start for Canada to
demand that the fugitive be given up. 1t
can not be said whether the offenss of
which McGarigle is guilty comes
within the provisions OF the extra
difion treaty or not until Official
Information CT the nature of the crime is
received. But little importance is now
attached to the interview with States At
torney Grinnell, in which that gentleman
raised the point that one of the owaers of
the Blake is a Canadian. There may be
some fact not yet given in the
report, 1t is said, which would modify
this view, however. The fact that
one OF the owners Of the
vessel is a Canadian would not of itself
have any bearing on the question ct the
escaped boodler's extradition. The own
ers of the vessel, both Americans and Ca
madam, would, under our laws, be Liable
to arrest il il were proven that they con-
nived at McGarigle's escape, knowing him
to be criminal, although that would not
affect our right to demand the convicts
surrender by Canada.

SAREIA, Ont, Aug. 1.-McGarigle was Sc
cluded all the morning, but just where
could not be escertalned. He was met on
arrival by party with carriage, one of
the party being Patrick Maloney, of Chi
cego, formerly of Port Huron, Mich.
Everything bad evidently been arranged
for McGarigle's reception, and one of the
party remarked that the entire plan of res
cue was mapped out before the escape was
attempted. Had any attempt been made
to seize McGarigle, desperate fight, one of
the schooner Marsh's crew says, would
have been the result. The reported effort
to disguise the schooner Blake by painting
her tired is explained differently by the
sailors. They say red blankets were hung
over the scbooner's sides to prevent identi-
fication. McGarigle's wife and children
are expected in Sarnia tonight.
